SYSTEM COMPONENTS

ACCESS & ALARM MONITORING

APACS gives site security personnel complete control and a comprehensive overview of the state of the system. Using the Alarm Mode console, staff can easily view access activity and alarm status in real-time. Customizable interactive maps can be configured to automatically display the highest priority events in the system so that guards can react with maximum efficiency.

HARDWARE SUPPORT

Supports Apollo's AAN series of controllers and AIM reader interfaces as well as alarm I/O devices. APACS also supports legacy Apollo hardware for smooth upgrade transitions or migrations from other software packages. For a complete view of the system, Digital Video integrates directly with access and alarm events, supporting the ApolloVision and ApolloVideo lines as well as products from Bosch, Panasonic and Samsung.

HUMAN RESOURCES

User friendly user database full badging capabilities with an easy reports and  an advanced card design facility. Assign multiple cards and designs to personnel and easily assign access levels according to group assignment. Keep a complete data record with up to 100 user-defined fields for each record that can be used for reports as well as searches. FIPS 201 card enrollment features allow reading of personal information from the card including name and photo in addition to card numbers (System, Site & Credential). Support for easy enrollment methods such as driver’s license and passport scanners.

REPORTING

Easy and powerful custom reports as well as pre-configured reports allow quick access to historical data. Special reports for movement of visitors. Employee attendance reporting to keep track of time worked. 

FEATURES

LINKAGES

APACS offers multiple mechanisms for IF...THEN programming for custom actions to extend the functionality of the Access Control System. Hardware embedded functions can provide fast, reliable control, arming/disarming and annunciation during normal operation as well as when communication is degraded. Software based features can send emails during system alarm events, control external programs and prompt operators for desired actions based upon system state and alarm conditions.

BADGE PRINTING & DESIGN

A full featured badge design editor allows multiple graphic layouts for user badges with easy dual side printing and card encoding.  Images to be printed can be imported or made from scratch using the powerful WYSIWYG editor. Cardholder images and personal information are taken directly from the database for inclusion on the printed badge. Designs can be automatically assigned based on a cardholder’s group.

ANTI-PASSBACK

Abuse of card policies can be prevented by flexible anti-passback rules that prevent multiple users gaining access with a single card. Access may be denied or an alert sent to guard stations in order to take proper action. Location of cardholder can be monitored live as they move between areas and areas can be locked for safety or security reasons. Area occupancy can automatically control areas based on min/max persons.

VISITOR MANAGEMENT

Manage flow of temporary cardholders and contractors on-site with simple enrollment directly through the APACS application or via a web interface allowing all users in an organization to submit  visitors and appointments. Track visitors on-site, quickly identifying location and violators of allowed visit duration. Advanced escort rules allow access only when accompanied by a designated employee or guard.

GUARD TOUR

Utilize existing ACS hardware for a full featured guard tour system without the need to purchase additional equipment. Progress of guards on prescribed rounds can be tracked by using readers and alarm inputs. Failure of guard tours can be programmed to automatically notify supervisors or sound system alarms.

GLOBAL ANTI-PASSBACK & MUSTERING

Full global anti-passback area control including maximum/minimum occupancy, open/close, manual movement by operator, nested areas, hardware reactions by occupancy and instantaneous as well as historical reports.
